Now that "Green Lantern" is at the park, what type of coaster would you like to see at the park next? As for me, I'd like to see a new indoor coaster. Something more thrilling then "THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster" and "Skull Mountain". I'm all about themeing, so I would also like to see the coaster be highly themed. Something like "Revenge of the Mummy" at Universal or "Rock en Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith" at Disney World. The best spot for it would be where Chiller used to be I think. There or on the Boardwalk replacing the old motion simulator building. I think Chiller's area has more room though. Anyway, how about you guys?

Highly themed won't happen at a seasonal park. Mummy is 2x the cost of a typical six flags coaster.

With that said, we need another woodie that does something other than what Toro does. And in a different part of the park.

I agree with Wade! Hire GCI or GG and get a nice twister style woodie in the park.

587coasterfan89 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:29:14 PM »

WadeJ, I'm not saying the same themeing as "Mummy". It could be the same type of themeing Dark Knight and Bizarro have. Mist, fire, preshow, lights, statues, etc.

Steve · « **Reply #4 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:34:12 PM »

A nice GCI twister through the woods would be nice.

PcMan · « **Reply #5 on:** July 14, 2011, 08:09:26 PM »

Agreed
If we had a New Wood Coaster that wasn't the highest fastest steepest BUT
traveled through the woods,underground like The Voyage or

a mid sized kick ass coaster like Worlds of Fun - Prowler
at a tiny cost of only 8 million or more as Wade and others put it
would be a great addition

Location Behind and around the Rapids down the hill and through the trees and along the LAKE

Do you here us Six Flags we don't need 30 million coaster gives us a Prowler,Legend,Raven,Voyage,Thunderhead,Mountain Flyer http://youtu.be/BG_WdFTcSHI

There is plenty of room where koala canyon used to be.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 15, 2011, 12:09:13 AM »

Start in Koala Canyon's former home, hop over into Congo Rapid's infield for a Twister section, and back over again to come back to the station. Preferably Gravity Group. We need some of their lovin on the East Coast.

ChuckR · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2011, 03:07:12 AM »

That sounds good!

WadeJ · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2011, 03:35:07 AM »

Either that or some obvious wood we can see. I love the ideas we all think up but the reality is it's a pipe dream. Gone are the days of rides going through the woods and over crazy terrain. Just far too expensive compared to the flat available land they have. Honestly, they could put a GREAT twister if they leveled what's left of chiller and used that entire corner where free fall was, etc. They could then reopen the bumper cars and m express. But whatever. Anything that requires excess expense like hauling supplies into the park, working inside the park with trees and so on seem to be outside of this new regimes mind set.

I still would love to see a GG woodie that ran through the woods along the lake. Something even close to Voyage-like would be absolutely awesome.

Ogolo · « **Reply #12 on:** July 16, 2011, 11:04:38 AM »

There is plenty of room next to Ka in the parking lot for next coaster.
Not that I wouldn't love to see Reggies idea become a reality!

Is it me or is anyone else just not feeling the park this year?
I've only been to the park 3 times this year.

WadeJ · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2011, 04:41:42 PM »

My wife and daughter haven't even activated their season passes yet

. No, we aren't either. I've been there twice outside of the misc. media events.

It doesn't seem to have the same vibe. I'm not saying they are doing a bad job. It just seems like more of a transition year where there are too many people that need to relearn how things operate.

I doubt they feel the same way but a big part of that missing vibe IMO is the GITPP going bye bye

.

PcMan · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2011, 10:40:38 AM »

Never bought a season pass this year (been very busy)
Been to the park just once for Misc. contrut. tour

Parking turned me off

But may go with a company picnic in OCT

ChuckR · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2011, 04:43:43 PM »

It's crazy, I might not go to this park at all this year. It's nothing like my 2004, 2005 and 2006 years where I went 20+ times.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 17, 2011, 09:08:07 PM »

Well, you just HAD to be in Europe...

587coasterfan89 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2011, 02:32:03 AM »

I know what Six Flags could use. How about a new launch coaster? Not as fast as Kingda Ka, but like Chiller. Indoor, themed, and blacklights. Just like Rock'n'Roller Coaster at Disney World.

kingdakafan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2011, 11:48:54 AM »

^Flight of fear?

587coasterfan89 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2011, 07:12:30 PM »

^Is Fight of Fear indoor?

Steve · « **Reply #20 on:** July 18, 2011, 09:01:06 PM »

^Yes.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2011, 11:40:22 PM »

^So is *Flight* of Fear.

WadeJ · « **Reply #22 on:** July 19, 2011, 04:43:14 PM »

FYI - Flight of Fear is also Jokers Jinx at Six Flags America just without the enclosure.

I actually have to agree with this one. Obviously Ka aside, it would be nice to have a fun launch coaster.

587coasterfan89 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 19, 2011, 08:17:32 PM »

Kingda Ka is a great ride, but I think a launch coaster that is not trying to break records or be extream would be cool. I also think it should be indoor because I think the park needs a thrilling indoor coaster. TDK and SM are great for familys, but indoor rides can be thrilling too. They also make great rides for themeing.

rjholla2003 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 19, 2011, 10:23:02 PM »

And here I actually agree with you. If we had a Flight of Fear type ride...guests wouldn't be let down. It would actually be interesting to see how the reaction is at first with the precedent with Skull Mountain and Dark Knight.
